So everyone is maintaining a home base ...permanent residence? I am in a bit of a predictament, in that I'm from Northern Ontario Canada. I can't possibly have my home base here, I'm 8 hours from the US border. Getting "home" between assignments would be a huge ordeal. I was sort of thinking that i'd do a few assignments back to back and if I found somewhere I liked i would set up a home base there?

Now i'm wondering ........any advice?

Could you rent a small apartment somewhere - or pay someone you trust to get your mail for a room??

I am planning to sell my house and make my permanent residence my mother's house! I will probably pay her some money to pick up the mail and forward it to me....

I have sold my home.....but now i'm wondering how often there are large gaps between assignments when I'll essentially have no where to go? is this usually a problem?

I do have someone I can pay to redirect my mail and to use as an address. I'm more concerned as to what I do for somewhere to live if there are too many days between assignments.

well, that should not be too big of a problem , I would think...The recruiters are CONSTANTLY calling me for work!!

But it has been a problem for others, I am not sure what to say.
